We went to McSharry and Associates with a specific house we knew would be hitting the market soon and wanted to be ready to make a bid in the current fast-to-sell market. While we waited for that house to be listed Patrick and his wife Julie sat down with us and explained the process and best strategy for us to make a competitive and reasonable offer. They also sent us other listings during this time and went on about 4 other house showings knowing we'd probably wait to make an offer on our desired house. They did not seem bothered by showing us homes we'd probably not bid on. They wanted us to see what else was on the market and at different price points so if we didn't get "the" house we would not feel defeated. And thankfully they did that because we were out bid on the original house! We were upset about the loss but were reassured by Patrick and Julie that we bid appropriately and that we'd find our home. And we did! Just a few months later we found the perfect home for our small family of 3 that fit comfortably in our budget and fulfilled many of the amenities we were looking for. They both were with us step by step in the showing, bidding, inspection and closing process. And to top it off they are both down to earth, reasonable, knowledgeable and a fun couple to work with during a could-be stressful time. We will recommend them to everyone we know! read more

The short review: Patrick and Julie are simply the best and they far exceeded any and all of my expectations for selling my house. I cannot say enough good things about McSharry and Associates. I found them on yelp because I now live far from the Albany area and was struggling to find a real estate agent. Upon my first call, Patrick answered a number of my questions and we scheduled a time to meet and see the house. Patrick and Julie had a whole presentation to go over with me at our first meeting. This included what I could expect working with them, the strategies and tools they use, their commitment to the community, and most importantly, their values. Integrity and a commitment to their clients were two values that they discussed during our first meeting and were present throughout the entire process. My house ended up getting an offer (above asking!) within a week of being on the market. I truly don't think this could have come together without their guidance and expertise. Patrick and Julie are wonderful, talented, committed people who I knew I could trust from the very beginning. They were always available if I had questions and were great at providing updates. They absolutely went above and beyond and made a stressful project smooth and successful. They even remembered my puppy's name from our first meeting!!! read more

Patrick and Julie were recommended by a co-worker who couldn't sell her house for over 6 months with a different broker and who got it under the contract after 2 days of working with McSharry and Associates. This was a wonderful recommendation and with their help we found our new home in a great neighborhood and in our price range. From the very beginning they've been focused on what We were looking for while another respectable broker started with the words "OK, let me explain how we get paid..." We were not pressured into signing an exclusive representation agreement, nor did they persuade us into buying a more expensive house. Patrick and Julie have been patient, attentive, resourceful, and very pleasant. They accommodated to our busy schedule doing evening and weekend showings. Overall, while the experience of house shopping is intrinsically stressful, Patrick and Julie made it as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Professional and knowledgeable, they'd offer us good advice as well as emotional support and reassurance. We would strongly recommend them to friends or family. read more

Patrick was recommended by a colleague when my husband and I were first looking to buy a house in the area. We met with him and knew immediately that he was the right person to help us buy our house. Patrick was very knowledgeable on the various areas and patient with the multiple homes we looked at before we found what we wanted. He answered all of our questions (and as first time home buyers there were a lot of questions) and helped guide us through the home buying process with ease. And after we bought our house, he kept in touch and would check in on how we were doing from time to time. It was only natural that we decided to work with Patrick and Julie when we were ready to sell our home. They exceeded all of our expectations and were (again) extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We took their advice on staging and pricing and our home sold for full price before the open house!! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. They are a wonderful team and made buying and selling very easy for us. read more

Enlisting the help of Patrick and Julie at McSharry and Associates was a great decision when we bought our house in Delmar. While it was a sudden decision to seriously consider buying a house, it was easy to choose McSharry and Associates as both Julie and Patrick had independently been recommended to us. They jumped right in with timely and competent service. I can't over-emphasize Patrick's knowledge about the market and his ability to negotiate a sale. He saved us thousands. Julie kept us on track to facilitate our request for an amazingly quick closing. We love how this local firm donates a percentage of each commission to a local charity though their Community Give Back Program. And even after the closing was complete, Patrick and Julie followed up with us to make sure we were settling into our new home well. I know they will be available to us as a source of ideas and recommendations as we continue to make the house ours. We're thrilled to recommend McSharry and Associates. --Liz and Dan read more

We honestly cannot say enough great things about working with Patrick and Julie. Before we met them we had been house hunting for over a year, and through 7 agents, and it was a constant battle for us trying to even get showings in such a competitive market. They made every single step so easy, and were the nicest agents ever! We absolutely loved working with them. They are very knowledgeable and make great recommendations, and went above and beyond to help us in every way. They were always super prompt with getting back to us and putting in offers, and helping us put together the best offer we could. Now we have a perfect house (and kitten) and we couldn't have done it without all the things they did along the way to help us! We are already referring them to our friends and family who need agents, because they were that awesome! THANK YOU PATRICK AND JULIE! read more

Patrick and Julie are paragon realtors who consistently went above and beyond their responsibilities to provide me with a smooth and enjoyable home-buying experience. They were unflaggingly responsive to my inquiries and incredibly attentive to my housing preferences. They worked diligently to arrange viewings (even for my last minute requests) and were more than accommodating with their time. Patrick and Julie are true to their mission statement - they are committed to finding a home that is ideal for their clients and they provide support through the entire process. After working with Patrick and Julie, you quickly realize that the qualities that make them such great realtors also make them great people - individuals that welcome you to the neighborhood and that you would like as friends. I would enthusiastically recommend Patrick and Julie to anyone. read more

Patrick and Julie are wonderful complements of each other and together they make the perfect realty team! Our family was immediately impressed with their service and their commitment to and involvement in the Capital Region. We later found that their individual skills and talents were exactly what we needed to find the right home. Patrick has a strong attention to detail and clear knowledge about features that add value or reveal potential weaknesses in a home. Julie quickly assesses the aspects of a home that client is really looking for, even when the client doesn't realize it. Together, they helped us find a home that fit our needs, has potential, and is a place we can make lasting memories with our family. We are very grateful for their time, effort, patience and perseverance during our home-buying experience! We could not have asked for better realtors! read more

We decided we wanted to put our house on the market in the Spring of 2017. Since we needed to review the process of selling we met with various realtors and knew right away that Patrick and Julie were the people we wanted to work with. We wanted to downsize and they sent us listings we might be interested in so we could get a feel for what was available in this area. They were very knowledgeable and supportive. Their advice was spot-on. We felt they were always there for us arranging viewings and answering questions and taking care of details. When we found a house in late summer it was their expertise and negotiating skills that moved us smoothly through the process of buying and putting our house on the market and selling it in three days. We would highly recommend Julie and Patrick to anyone. They are wonderful people and a great team. read more

Patrick has helped us through 4 transactions over the past 15 years. He is very knowledgeable about market values, buyer expectations and sellers concerns and needs. He and his wife, Julie, are a wonderful team. They truly guided us through the process from initial meeting, pricing, staging, taking professional photos, and then expertly marketing our home. Our last home went on the MLS just as the market was changing and interest rates were rising. Our house took a few months to sell and we were very nervous but Patrick and Julie were calm and steady throughout the process. We did sell for very close to our asking price and moved right before Christmas 2022. We highly recommend McSharry & Associates if you want to buy or sell a home in the Capital Region.

Patrick was recommended to us by a close friend. He and his wife, Julie, have proven to be attentive and informed professionals. We took a 6-month hiatus from searching for our first home and Patrick did not forget us. Every few months he contacted us to let us know that he would still be behind us when we resumed our search. Now we are buying our first home and Patrick and Julie have been nothing but supportive to us. Whether you are buying or selling, you will want McSharry and Associates behind you! Every step of the way, they will stand loyally behind you and help guide you to fulfill your best interests. Thank you Patrick and Julie for everything you have done for us!

We choose Julie and Patrick to sell our house because we wanted personal service. That is just what we got from start to finish. We were moving out of state so we needed our house sold by the end of the summer. They were professional thru the whole process from posting our listing, to having to put our house back on the market after the first offer feel thru. A very stressful process was so much easier knowing we had them for realtors. We left New York knowing we had a solid offer and that we had nothing to worry about. Our house closed August 31st. We are now settled in our new home in Georgia. I would highly recommend Julie and Patrick if you are selling or looking to buy a home. read more

Patrick and Julie are extremely kind, professional, patient, authentic, and genuine in their drive to find their buyers the right house. They are realistic and honest in the advice and guidance they give, and never once made us feel pressured to make a decision before we were ready to make it. They make every effort to make themselves available as much as they are able for showings or corresponding over email. Bonus: they give back to the local community, which is extremely admirable. We are so grateful we found them and had them to guide us through this process!!!! We would definitely recommend them to other buyers (and sellers too, although we haven't used them for that... yet!). read more

We were thrilled with the service provided by Julie and Patrick. We currently live out of state and are planning to move to Upstate NY. We weren't sure which city among several to target and so decided to explore each of the cities including Albany. Julie and Patrick spent what worked out to an entire day showing us around not only Albany but Schenectady and Troy as well. We were particularly grateful because at this point whether or not they get our business, given our uncertainty about location, is speculative. We did not feel that the quality of service provided was diminished in any way despite that circumstance. They seem like great people and were fun to spend time with. read more

McSharry and Associates were recommended to us by a friend, and we were so glad we took their recommendation. Patrick and Julie were wonderful to work with and really took the time to get to know what we were looking for in a new home. They sold our home in Albany in one day, and then found us the perfect home in the Bethlehem area. All of our questions and requests were responded to very quickly, no matter the time of day. They made the process of buying and selling our home as stress-free as that process can be. It was great to work with them, and I would recommend McSharry and Associates to anyone who is looking for a home in the area. read more

Before working with McSharry and Associates, I'd never sold a house before. Having heard many war stories, I was prepared to be nickeled and dimed and generally disappointed. I shouldn't have worried. Patrick and Julie were terrific - completely prepared for pandemic conditions, always there with important suggestions, advice and important reminders, and consistently professional and good humored. The house sold in a week and they were there as partners as we moved towards closing. I've also never recommended anything on Yelp which associates Patrick and Julie with another first. If you're selling or buying a house, call them. read more

Patrick and Julie have been nothing short of wonderful in our home buying journey. It was certainly a journey navigating the complexity of a post-covid real estate market. They have been patient with us viewing countless homes, through 6 offers, and were extremely helpful when we got an offer accepted and were in the closing process. Patrick and Julie were able to offer sound advice, point out any red flags, and were amazingly responsive even through late night & weekend emails about new listings. We cannot recommend McSharry & Associates enough for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy realtor! read more

Most recently, Patrick and Julie helped us navigate both the changing housing market as well as all of the options available to us as a seller and a buyer. We sold our house in Loudonville in 2021 and bought our forever home in Delmar in 2022. The process was seamless and they were always available when we needed anything at all. There is no doubt that we would not have been able to get as much as we did for the sale of our house without McSharry and Associates. We listened to them and did everything they recommended. We could not have been happier. Paul and Kelly, Loudonville and Delmar read more

We had a great experience with Patrick and Julie at McSharry and Associates Realty and would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home in the Capital District region. We contacted them when we needed to sell our home in Delmar and they quickly organized an open house and put together a charming description and video of the home. Our home sold in two weeks. We appreciated their attention to detail throughout the selling process and they quickly responded to all our questions, no matter how small. They were warm and personable and very helpful at all steps in the process. read more
